The Northern Highway takes us to a special experience that almost everyone loves – visiting caves. Two caves so close and so different: the first is in its final stages of life, mostly collapsed, but an impressive arch remains to be enjoyed. In the second cave, which few have discovered before, you can enjoy crawling among beautiful stalactites. Don’t forget flashlights!
The Keshet Cave, located in Adamit Park, can be reached from Highway 899, turning towards Kibbutz Adamit and before the kibbutz on the right to the KKL-JNF parking lot and walking to the Keshet Cave on a paved road that is also suitable for the disabled and strollers.
Paul Nirens, a chef from Australia who made “aliya” to the Galilee, will take you into Druze, Muslim, and Christian homes. Together, you will cook traditional dishes and learn about the local life and religion and then eat the fine Galilean meal you made. Full day culinary, culture tours, and full meals are also available.
Goren Park is situated in the heart of the Western Galilee woodland overlooking Kziv stream gully. It was founded by KKL-JNF in 1963 – the first large park in Israel to consist entirely of native Israeli common Oak woodland. The Park stretches over 2,000 dunams and has walking trails to Kziv stream nature reserve, Ein Tamir and Monfort Fortress. Monfort’s mountain viewpoint is approx. 1.7 km from the entrance. A short accessible trail for visitors with limited mobility leads from the parking area of the viewpoint’s parking lot to an observation deck overlooking the green slopes on Kziv stream. Across the viewpoint, on the stream’s southern side, the structures of Monfort Crusader Fortress are seen.
An archaeological site in the Upper Galilee. The site is located near the Nahal Sarach parking lot, within the Jewish Child Forest complex. Excavations were conducted at the site in 1984 and 1986. The findings of the archaeological survey and excavations carried out at the site indicate a large village whose central remains extend over five dunams. It appears that the core of the village began in the Roman period and expanded during the Byzantine period. In 2000-2001, the Israel National Fund and the Israel Antiquities Authority began a conservation and restoration project at the site.
